illúzióként

The Hungarian word "illúzióként" translates to "as an illusion" in English. It refers to the state of being perceived or experienced as something that is not real or true, often a deceptive appearance or belief. In a broader sense, it can describe a hope or expectation that is unlikely to be fulfilled, a false or misleading impression.

The concept of illusion is explored in various fields. In psychology, illusions often refer to sensory perceptions that differ from objective reality. These can be visual, auditory, or tactile, and they highlight the constructive nature of our perception. Philosophically, an illusion can represent a mistaken belief about the nature of reality, leading to a misunderstanding of oneself or the world. In art and literature, illusions are frequently employed to create specific effects, challenge perceptions, or explore themes of deception and reality.

The adverbial form "illúzióként" specifically denotes how something is perceived or functions. For instance, one might say a political promise turned out to be "illúzióként" (as an illusion), meaning it was ultimately unrealized or deceptive. Similarly, a fleeting moment of happiness could be described as "illúzióként" if it proved to be temporary and unsustainable. The term emphasizes the discrepancy between appearance and reality, or between expectation and outcome.
